Hold on tightly and don't let go of this appointment. I'm a big fan of therapy having provided it as a psychologist and received it in the midst of depression (which is where I am now).

For me, the thought of going to therapy again represents a lot of failure thoughts...but it also represents hope...hope for a possible bit of relief from this debilitating depressive episode that has me in its grip so tightly.

Get someone to take you to the appointment if you have to. Have great expectations for the therapy. I have an appointment with a psychologist on Tuesday of this week...btw, August 1 is not too far in the future. Call them once a week to see if there are any cancellations. And keep coming back to these forums. I find them helpful, and I hope that you do too.

Hang in there. Did you ask them to call u if there is a cancellation? Sometimes that might get u in sooner?
